Paul Clerget (1868-1935) was a French stage actor, and this is the earliest known film of him, predating the second entry in his filmography by over twenty years. He made half a dozen minor films in the US between 1917 and 1920, and then from 1930 on-wards made around twenty films in his native France, of which the best known is probably the Buster Keaton vehicle Le Roi des Champs-Elysées (France, 1934).
Ethel Ross-Selwicke was a popular English music-hall performer, specializing in light comedy and operetta. She also had some reputation as a dancer, making her ideally suited for silent comic performances, but this film seems to be her only appearance in front of the camera.
